Ingrid: Well, Leif, I see you don’t have much practical experience. Put off to finish school, I suppose? And your debt is from —
Oh. Inherited.
Definitely don’t tell people your old surname. So you’re in this for life, then.

FUCK SONHEIM. So much.
“*your* old surname”
AHHH so people would recognize it? what’d his family do????
Going theories are:
1: Leaders of a revolutionary cell. Parents escaped, Lief didn’t.
2: Parents triggered a famous avalanche by accident, destroying a
vampire’s favorite feeding groundstown, giving Leif his complex about following every rule to the letter and how small wrongnesses can snowball,if you’ll pardon the pun.3. Parents were prolific gamblers, and Leif is saddled with just one-third of their debt.
I’m putting my chips on #1, personally, because Leif’s complex seems to be specifically “I am a PATRIOTIC and LAW-ABIDING PERSON who WOULD NOT DO A TREASON”.
I don’t think parents escaped. I think they died. Not sure if like didn’t survived capture or if they were executed.
Revolutionaries and rebels very rarely get released. I personally ascribe to the personal theory that anyone who rises against Sonheim’s system gets sold to the leeches as “premiere stock”.
My bet’s on they’re still alive in some form. Leif’s debt is an “ongoing expense”, which I’m interpreting as getting LARGER, not ‘gaining interest’.
Yea, I was wondering if he’s being forced to pay for the cost of imprisoning them.
Stars, I hope not. His debt is so large he doesn’t track it.
My theory is a variation on #1, namely that his parents are Harriet Tubman analogs.
